As Filipino Olympians represented the country in the Paris Olympics 2024, we are reminded of their tremendous courage, hard work, and steadfast commitment. The strong showing by our athletes has earned them the nation’s love and respect.
The warmth of home
The Hilton Manila, located in Newport World Resorts, hosted a grand victory party to welcome the return of the 2024 Olympic Games Philippine Team. With this joyous homecoming, 22 world-class delegates celebrated their Olympic journey. The event also honored the Olympians' families and coaching team.
Our Olympians received a hero’s welcome, basking in the pride of our nation and the warmth of home. That night, delegates enjoyed live entertainment by Maincast at The Grand Bar and Lounge and savored exceptional cuisine prepared by Newport World Resorts’ award-winning chefs.
Heroes’ parade
Throughout the competition, our athletes felt the strong support of Filipinos back home. Upon their return, the delegates joined a 7.7-kilometer motorcade traversing the streets of Manila and Pasay on August 14. The parade started at Aliw Theater in Pasay and concluded at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex.
Pride and honor shines through
Representing the Philippines in the global arena is a great honor. Whether our athletes brought home medals or not, the entire nation is proud of their great achievements. Now and forever, Filipino Olympians will stand tall and inspire the next generation of athletes.
